it seems you are addict on it you are playing a single game. thats good focus, in my recent years i played so many games "Online " a year at a time heheheh. RAN Online, M.U., Granado Espada, Supreme Destiny, but in windows box not in Great Linux. ^__^

I play Starcraft on Wine. I bought the battlechest in anticipation of Starcraft II. Yeah, I'm actually buying original copies, right! :D I just feel a sense of realness to the product that I'm holding if it's coming from the source.

Yep, as a developer I do like to support developers, although publishers get most of the cut, I think. :angry:

Anyway, back to Wine: It seems to be a great project to work on, as there are a lot of games that people want to see running there.

I've been playing Heros of the Might and Magic 5 almost flawlessly. There is a bug with the sound not loading sometimes and Heros thinking you don't have the original CD, but with a little tinkering it works fine.

Starcarft came up right away, so I played that for the most part. I'm trying to debug so I can play the new Star Trek Online (with Steam) working in Linux. I would also like to get my other Steam Games working in Linux, but my Graphics Card is ATI which has terrible drivers for Linux.

I dual-booted my Windows gaming machine a couple of months ago and I have installed the Windows Steam client, but simply added my existing Windows drive as a repository and can run quite a few of the games with no extra configuration. Here are the results so far:

Mafia 2 - could not start
The Witcher - loaded to menus but game did not start
Metro 2033 - fails to start, just first splash screen and sound for 1 second. There is a native version Metro 2033 Redux, but I do not own that and don't want to pay for it again... I do own Metro Last Light though which is native to Linux :)
